One item worth mentioning is that I have spent a good 8 hours trying to remove what seemed to be a virus from my machine over the weekend and it was not fun. I can safely say that I now have one of the cleanest PC's in the world thanks to Malwarebytes, Spybot, Ms Security, ComboFix, HJT and many others.
I can also say that it was not directly related to my PC, just indirectly. Somehow something had got into my wifi router and modified the DNS settings to something odd, changing them to the free google dns servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 resolved the issue. I had even resorted to posting the issue on geekstogo ( a great site where volunteers help you with PC problems) and this is what tipped me off.
Mitch8 helpfully replied to me and one of his questions was 'Do you have a router and do you have any other PCs with the same issue using this router?'
So I checked Jacqui's PC and lo and behold she was getting the same issue. So one trip to the router later and we're all happy.
If this post means nothing to you don't panic, i just needed somewhere to let off steam as much as anything else:)

"something" got on your wifi router. Lol. if you stopped surfing porn with your free time then you'd be clean. I think there is a Mitchell and Webb skit that will help with that ;)
